Shopping & Photography

So what do these things have in common?  They just happen to be two of my passions.  I love to find good deals on great clothes.  And I love to just take my trusty camera out for the day and take great pictures.  Both of these past times are always good ways to calm my nerves and de-stress me.  So which of these did I do today?  I went shopping, I mean with the temperature hovering around 100, being outside is not very appealing.  And I'm so glad that I went to the Gap.  That seems to be one of my favorite places lately.  So what did I buy you ask......well this adorable white sheath dress for $18, yep I said $18!!!  All the sale stuff is an extra 40% off.  Now that is a great deal and I could have stayed there  longer but, I would definately be broke.  

So now I'll leave you with my other passion...

Hair - CRAZY Hair!

Does any one else out there have a hair fetish. What I mean by that is, do you keep trying to obtain (what may be the impossible) your perfect hair. Mine happens to be a hair color fetish. I've been just about every color except for black (which doesn't appeal to me for whatever reason). Right now my hair is red, kind of a darkish coppery color. I've been on a kick as of the last year or so, to find my "perfect" red and as of today, don't really think that I've found it. I come home with a slightly different shade of red every 4-6 weeks or so. I mean, who is that obsessed!?!?!? Me I suppose. Maybe one day. But of course, by that time, I'll probably be ready to be blond again, so who knows! But until that day, I'll keep surprizing J with a different shade to ponder (and just to answer, he said that he likes this one, but I'm still not so sure), so we'll wait another 4 weeks and try again!

Happy Monday (Glad it's over!)

Just a little bit.....

About me. Over the last several years, I have really become an neverending fountain of worthless knowledge. Example, a co-worker of mine just got back from a vacation in NYC and she said that they had gone to Dillon's Candy Store and of course me being full of worthless knowledge say "Oh, isn't that the candy store owned by Ralph Lauren's daugher", I mean know knows that kind of stuff. Obviously I do. Is there anyone else that just reads for the sake of reading. I do. Example #2, having coffee with some friends Sunday night and we got to talking about Joran Van der Sloot, and the hostess made the comment about how his father had really saved his butt the first go around and I said that he'd have a harder time now since his dad was now deceased. Yet again, who knows that kind of stuff. Just another tidbit about me. Maybe I should go on Jeapardy or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire of something. Problem is, I only read about things that just happen to catch my eye at the time. I know, weird right. But I know that there's got to be another person out there like this right?!?!?!?

Blessings on a CRAZY MONDAY,

Style Tip Sunday

Great Find #1

I love this dress from the Gap. It's long enough for us women who aren't in our 20s and structured enough to keep things together also. It's made nicely and looks great without having to iron it. I paired it with a structured denim jacket and pair of chunky heels today for church. It's cool and comfy and appropriate of work also. I may have to go back and get the navy one.

If this heat in the south keeps up, my wanting the dress may just turn into a need! Ha!

And talking about the Gap, they have their tanks for $10 if you buy 2 or more, which is a good deal. They have some of the best out there right now.

And here's a style trick for you. I've seen rolled up denim capri type pants for sale in just about all the stores. Well save yourself some money and take a pair of straight leg or skinny legged jeans and just roll them up. It doesn't work so well with bell bottoms but the other two are really cute rolled up. Pair them with a tank and sweater set or just a t-shirt and scarf for a fun age appropriate look. And throw on some chunky heals (can you tell they're my favorite) to look super cool!

Blessings,
